Assalamualaikum, hey everybody. Sorry for the damn long hiatus. I got some schoolwork to take care of. Anyways, thanks for the continued support, I really appreciate it. Roll clip, chapter 14.

Chapter 14: Which Side Are You On (Part I)

Another day in school. Everyone got together in class as always. Except for one small problem. Anna wasn't sitting with us, she was sitting with Penny's group. We just thought that Anna was just making new friends, so we decided to leave it off. However, Gumball wasn't quite sure of that. The lunch bell rang, and everyone left the class. Cato was just about to invite Anna to eat with them, but she left with Penny's group. They followed them to the cafeteria. Not much was going on with them, just regular girl stuff, so we just let it slide and went to eating lunch.

Dante: (saw Gumball staring at them) Gumball, stop staring at them and eat up. Lunch's almost over.

Gumball: Sorry, it's just that I got a strange feeling about this.

Darwin: Why? What's wrong?

Gumball: It's just that I'm worried that she'll be with her so long, then Penny's gonna say stuff that isn't true about us, and she's gonna think that we're the enemy. Later on, we're gonna have a martial artist to get on our backs.

Cato: Oh, come on. What are the chances of that happening. I'm sure Anna can tell which is right, which is wrong.

Suprise, suprise. Penny's group came to their table.

Penny: Hey, everyone.

Gumball: What do you want, Penny?

Penny: Oh, not much. Just wanna introduce you to another member of the group.

Penny moved aside, showing Anna right behind her.

Penny: This is Anna, she's 10, so Cato, don't punch her in the face if you may.

Cato: I don't think you have to tell me that.

Penny: Well, we got some business to do. Let's go.

They all left, but Cato managed to grab Anna at the back of the shirt and pulled her back.

Cato: Okay, what's going on?

Anna: You don't have to know.

Ivan: (Still munching on his food) Why not? We're your friends, right?

Anna: Yeah, at least until I found out the truth.

Jake: What truth? What did she tell you?

Anna: (angry) I said you don't need to know!

Anna did a back elbow directly at Cato's face causing him to lose his grip on her. Anna dashed out almost as fast as Cato could.

Cato: Ow. Second day at her new school and already hitting me at the face.

Gumball: I'd say the chances are very high, 100%.

Dante: Was she this angry when you met her yesterday, Cato?

Cato: No, actually she was happy. Maybe cuz I saved her from Tobias.

Ivan: (done eating) So, we gonna go after 'em or not?

Darwin: I think it's best if we don't.

Cato: I don't know about you guys but I'm going after them.

Darwin: What for? She's not gonna say a word anyway.

Cato: Who said I'm gonna talk to her.

Dante: I'm going.

Ivan: Yeah, me too.

Jake: I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, so I'm just gonna follow and do nothing.

Darwin: Oh, alright. I'll go.

Cato: Gumball?

Gumball: Yeah, I'm goin.

Ivan: Then, it's settled.

(Ivan's POV)

(School Hallway)

It took us a long time just to get them. In the end, we found them at the hallway standing near a room. They were panting, guess they were running from us. We made up a plan to try and get info on what they're talking about.

Cato: Okay, any of you have a plan?

Jake: I'm just gonna do nothin.

Dante: How about we try getting near them?

Cato: How? They'll see us straight forward.

Gumball: How about Ivan teleports there.

Ivan: Yeah, I can teleport there and get info. I brought my phone, so I can record what they're sayin.

Cato: Okay, but where are you gonna teleport?

Ivan: There (the room next to the girls). I can teleport behind the door, open the door small enough for my phone to reach them, and record. Once they're done, I'll just teleport back here. Simple.

Cato: Okay, but you're gonna need these.

He handed me an earpiece.

Ivan: Why'd you bring that to school?

Cato: I bring lots of things, for special occasions.

Ivan: Okay, then. This is gonna be a piece o' cake.

I teleported to the room they were standing next to and recorded what they were saying.

Penny: Huh, finally away from them.

Anna: I can understand why you say they're bad.

Penny: You see, don't trust them. They're the enemy. You should trust us.

Anna: I trust you now. But, what if they find me without you around?

Penny: Just run as fast as you can to a place where boys can't go.

Anna: By the way, what did they do to you before I was here.

Penny: Oh, terrible things. They keep giving bad luck to me. Then, Gumball spit at my boyfriend's face and Cato challenged my boyfriend to a fight recently. He needed help so he got his friends to help him. But Cato attacked all of them and they got injured. And it just goes on and on. They keep doing bad things to me.

Anna: Don't worry, I can help.

Penny: Thanks, Anna.

Masami: Let's go, I think there's someone wathing us.

Oh, shit. I quickly brought my phone into the room, stopped the recording and teleported outta there. Lucky me, they just got in the moment the portal closed.

Masami: Hm, I thought I heard something. Nevermind, let's go.

(3rd person POV)

Cato: Shit! Ivan, they're opening the door.

Ivan just came back and quickly closed the portal.

Ivan: Wooh, and I made it back in a nick of time.

Gumball: Good thing too. Now let's go.

(Classroom)

Everyone was listening to the record, and found many mistakes that can be used to their advantage.

Lexy: So Penny told this to the new kid?

Gumball: Yeah, apparently.

Ivan: She made a lot of mistakes which we can easily find loopholes.

Then, they noticed Penny's group coming. They spread out and sit at their places acting like nothing happened for the rest of the school day.

(After school)

It's Friday, which means it's club day. Everybody started to pack up and get to their respected clubs. Once Gumball, Ivan, Dante and Cato were at the field, they saw two new members, but one doesn't seem very happy. It was Riki and Anna.

Riki: Oh, hey guys. You in the club too?

Dante: Yeah, we even made the club.

Anna: Puh, no wonder it's not popular.

Dante: It's still on a growing phase.

Cato: Anyway, let's warm up and start the match.

(1 hour later)

The game finished 3-2 leaving the school's team in the dust.

Cato: Man, you guys are too good.

Riki: We played the national kids team back at Indonesia.

Gumball: No wonder.

Anna: (in a hurry) Oh, well, let's go, Riki.

Riki: Why? What's the rush?

Anna: I just wanna go, okay. I don't wanna be with them too long.

Riki: Okay, then. See you later, guys.

Everyone: Bye.

Amber: Hey, Cato.

Cato: Yeah?

Amber: Ever noticed Anna looking a bit strange.

Cato: Already know about that. How'd you know?

Amber: Well...

(Amber's POV)

(10 minutes before the boys came)

Nobody came yet, so me and Jamie talked for awhile while warming up.

Amber: So, anything happened between you and Dante yet?

Jamie: Mmm... not yet, we just kinda seem like we're a couple in the shadows. He spends most of his time with his friends.

Amber: Heh, I know that feeling.

Jamie: Really?

Amber: Yeah, I like Cato, and he likes me. But we somehow seem a bit apart since he spends time with his friends.

Jamie: Exact same scenario, but what can we do? They might wanna spend time with them cuz they wanna enjoy they're time together.

Amber: Hmm... you're right.

Jamie: Wait, you like Cato?

Amber: Yeah, Dante never told you?

Jamie: Nobody ever told me or even said a word about it.

Just then, Riki and Anna came, but Anna was a bit depressed.

Jamie: Hey, guys. You're gonna join the soccer club?

Riki: Yeah.

Amber: Hey, Anna. What's wrong?

Anna: Nothing.

Jamie: Come on, you can tell us.

Anna: It's none of your business.

(3rd person POV)

Amber: And after that, we kinda got in an argument.

Cato: Hmm... it seems to become worse.

Ivan: So, what are we gonna do?

Cato: Don't worry, you can say "I got eyes and ears near her all the time"

Gumball: "All the time"?

Cato: I meant Riki.

Gumball: Oh.

Dante: But what can he do?

Cato: Oh, I already told him the plan, it's just that he needs to execute it. And I got a plan for us too.

Amber: What's the plan?

Cato: We're gonna confront Penny and her group tomorrow using the evidence that we have, and try to convince Anna to get back to us.

Ivan: Okay, but we only have one evidence. What else can we do?

Cato: That one evidence might be enough cuz remember, Penny made many mistakes in that sentence there. And we got witnesses, so they might help. If it's not enough, then I'll see how much Riki got.

Gumball: Okay, sounds like a plan. But where are we gonna meet her?

Cato: We got extra classes tomorrow, remember?

Gumball: Oh, yeah. I forgot.

Dante: Okay, then. We confront them after school.

Cato: That's the plan.

(The next day)

(Riki's POV)

Oh, man. It's Saturday, but now we have to go for extra classes. I got my things outta my locker and was about to head out. But I heard some kind of an angel and a cut-out of a bear talking around the corner. I listened to what they were saying, and they're talking about Anna. I then remembered what Cato told me, to get as many info for my sister as much as possible. I don't really know what for, but I'm just gonna do it. I took out my phone and set it on record.

Cliffhanger. Had to finish up here. Hope you enjoy this chapter and there's been a bit of info I was wrong about, Jake is an older brother to a baby sister, not a baby brother. Sorry for the mistake. So, review below, and I'll catch up to you in the next chapter. Assalamualaikum, and bu-bye.

A/N: This whole chapter is about getting Anna away from the bad people, not a chapter where everyone's fighting for a damsel who is not even in distress or everyone wants her to be on their side. So please, try to stick with the idea. :D
